Gaag Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi Folks,  The forum upgrade is likely to take place at sometime over the next week or two, I'll give you an exact date when I know it. There is likely to be some downtime during this process, but it shouldn't be for too long.  I can't afford to pay for a custom skin design for the forum, i've been quoted anywhere between £100-£250 for this. So I was wondering if anyone had any experience designing skins that could help put one together for us? The forum will be migrating to ipb v3.1. I am willing to pay a bit for the right job, give me a shout if you think you can help.  Also, I'd be looking to have the landing page and forum banners updated as well, so if anyone wants to volunteer to have a shot of those then that'd be great.  Any more info needed or you want to discuss further, just drop me a line.  Cheers  Gaag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_tony Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 The Motherwell skin on P&B's pretty decent. Something along similar lines could look really nice on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Will the upgrade include a mobile skin? Find it a bit of a pain to read the forum on my phone these days :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakes Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Will the upgrade include a mobile skin? Find it a bit of a pain to read the forum on my phone these days :/ That would be good. Checking the forum on a mobile can be a bit of a nuisance with the current set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaag Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Naebdy? Seriously?! Gonna end up with a blue forum and no banner at this rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 The forum upgrade will be commencing over the next 24 hours. Please save all signatures/avatars/PM's etc in case of database loss. Â The full upgrade will be going on and off over the next few weeks so you will all experience some downtime at some point. Â Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Getting there. Â Things will be a bit on/off over the next day or so but shouldn't cause too much inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_Special Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Getting there. Â Things will be a bit on/off over the next day or so but shouldn't cause too much inconvenience. Â If we get a petrol blue shirt next season then its fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggischomper Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 This seems nice and simple so far, although the phone version is still *cough* 'petrol' blue. Liking it - seems easier to navigate also.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 This seems nice and simple so far, although the phone version is still *cough* 'petrol' blue. It's claret and amber for me, but it just looks exactly the same as the desktop version, which isn't very useful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakes Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 FWIW I'm seeing a blue version of the mobile skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
